But, for the systems that don't have access to Minecraft yet, you can be sure that a few plucky pioneers will put in the hard graft to port it over, and squeeze it onto every console, smartphone, and bread maker in existence.

So, if you want to play the game on your Nintendo DS, look no further than smealum's effective Minecraft port DScraft.

It has recently become available to download, and here's how to get it onto your dual-screen handheld in a few easy steps.

To play DScraft, you're going to need a flashcard. These are cheeky little devices that manage to bypass the console's copy protection and let you play games and downloads that Nintendo hasn't given the thumbs up to.

We won't go into the intricacies of which flashcard you should buy - mostly because they're illegal in some parts of the world for facilitating DS piracy.

All we'll say is that DScraft works on the majority of major cards, including the M3 DS Real and the infamous R4.
